How Tea was Discovered.

It is curious that while the Chinese claim
a remote antiquity for nearly all the prod
UctS Of their long arrested civilization,
they give what to them is a comparatively
modern date for the introduction of tea
into the Celestial Empire And even then
they trace the origin of the article to
myth. They tell US that about the begin
ming Of the Sixth century, in our present
reckoning, one Darma, a prince of high
principle and great piety, landed among
them and gave up his life that in the emu
he would become absorbed into the Divine
presence. He had an idea that if he could
only conquer sleep so his mind might be
forever alive to the impressions and scenes
around him, and in constant meditation on
the unseen, the sublime purpose he had be-
fore him would surely be attained. The
weakness of the flesh, however. was too
much for this enthusiast. Worn out by his
pTOtractod vigil, he at length fell into pro
found slumber; but instead Of waking up
with n sense Of comfort and refreshment,
it was in shame and humiliation that he
opened his eyes, and in agony of grief
over his failure TO keep awake he
took a knife and cut off the offending eve
lids. Returning after time TO the spot
where this extraordinary penance was per-
1UA 4AACNA, IAC WIS dElULCU 10 uIU L1l3E the
eyelids had taken root aud developed into
fragrant and beautiful shrubs. He plucked
some Of the leaves, and, eating them. felt
like man transformed. 4 new iov pos
sessed his mind. A new courage animated
his body; he had found an elixir that con
quered sleep, and made persistent watch
fulness certainty. 1t was in this fashion,
say the Chinese, that the tea plant came
into existence.
We do not find mention Of tea in litera,
ture earlier than tie Sixteenth century.
Certain Italian writer's who tlourished then
speak OF It, and CDe OF them, anticipating
CoWpep, describes it as "a delicate Juice
which takes the place Of wine and is good
for health and sobr;ety." Tea must then
have found its way into Europe, and Port
uGuese were probably the first to import il.
II was not, however, until about 4 centu~v
later that it was brought into England. 1t
was so much of rarity tbat n gift Of n few
pounds OF il 10 tAe sovereign n 1864 was
considered a magnificent present. In 1867
d considerable importation OF the article
was made into England, the amount
being nearly 5000 pounds, bat ii found by

PROFIT SHARING.


The great soap manufacturing firm
of Proctor & Gamble, of Cincinnati,
have entered into an agreement with
their employees by which the latter are
toshare in the profits of the business
in addition to their wages. This ac-
ton was voluntary on the part of the
firm and without solicitation on the
part of the employees. The EVENING
POsT of that city refers to the new de-
parture as follows:
The firm of Procter & Gamble, their en-
ployes. the city Of Cincinnati and the toiiers
of the whole world are 10 be congratulated
upon the Inauguration by the firm above
mentioned of Il practicable and mutually
beneficial scheme of proft-sbaring, which
includes all the small army of employees of
this great making firm.
Proctor & Gamble are 10 be congratulated
because they have Bound their employees to
their interest; because they have swev tened
their own residue Of profit by the conscious
ness that they receive it into unenvied pos
session; because they have the consciousness
that hey are not only helping to clean up
the world of mankind, but also contributing
10 the cheerful and hopeful solution of the
great problem of profit distribution, and be-
cause every lover of his race, as he uses a
cake of Ivory soap, will give an approving
thought TO the firm which has joined hands
with its employees in the profit If its produc-
lion.
The employees are to be congratulated, be-
cause, with no responsibility for the losses Of
The enterprise and no capital az stake, they
will first surely get their wages, and will
thereafter get suitable share IN the profits
0flhe undertaking.
The city OF Cincinnati is to be congvatu- :
lated, because it is to have ao opportunity TO
witness the practical operation and results OF
prohtshaTiug ON very large scale, because
;hc example, right at home, is likely to be
followed By many, if not most, other indus
trial establishments of the city, and because
il auguIs the introduction of happier feel
ing on the part OF the manual laborers Of the
clay, whose protection and comfort should be
The city's first care.
The toilers of the whole world are 10 be
congratulated because this example shows
that the ola heather doctrine OF "let alope"
IS being demolished. and that an err Of mu-
luality and tair dealing is at hand.
Ii Is long since the papers of Cincinnati
have tecn able to chronicle so pleasant an
i,em OF local news. 1t is better to share
profits as we 60 along than to hoard them
tai We die, and then bequeath them to the
public, and Infinitely better than to trans
nit them unearned to our family descend
aais.

Curious Clocks.

When the Emperor Charles V. OF Spain
retired to the Monastery of ST. 1ustG he
took with him Torrian0, bis clock maker,
III order to while away the time by con-
strUCting the movements Of clocks. So
wonderful were some Of the pieces OF work
which they made that the monks would moi
believe any one except the devil had hand
in them, until the machinery was shown tC
them by the cX-EmpeTOr. 1t was ordered
by Charles that Wlen he should die AL Of
these clocks should cease Tuuning-and il
IS said 10 be u fact that his orders were
Obcycd
Another king of Spain went to Geneva
to see a clock which had been made by
Droz, merchant OF that city. Upon the
clock were seated a shepherd, a negro, and
Il dog. As the hour was struck, the shep-
herd played upon his flute, and the dog
played gently at his feet, but when the king
reached forth to touch an apple That hung
from tree, under which the shepherd
rested, the dog flew III him and barAed sc
furiously that q live dog answered him, and
the whole party left in haste Ncnturing

There was no reply, but, when The question
was repeated in French. an answer wa,

voted that the clock was the work Of thl

4 YOUNG MEN IN OFFICE.
The Family BIaolk Sheep and the YOUTH
With an Aim.

With an Aim.
Let me describe the young man who is
the black sheep of his family, which has
enough influence to get him an Office,
writes Washington correspondent Of the
New York Star Sometimes he is a cheap
style of dandy, with expensive habits ana
o disposition to look upon the wine when
ever an opportunity offers. Ills money
comes regularly, and begctg that deluSive
security a salary cngendCrs Of course he
gets into debt easily, and when once there
he stays, and is owned by some one Of the
hundreds of money lenders and note shay
ers who fatten upon Just such fools as he
is, or upon the pressing wants OF the more
deserving. His salary, is always hypOthe
Gated. and certain streets are avoided on
account of little bills due his victims.
A few years of this life is enough to
hasten his new habits upon him and to
utterly unfit him for making his living any
other way. He is singularly like a sailor
or q printer in his inability to keep or save
his money. but he has none Of the redeem
inc qualities OF either His associations
are inclined to be low and his pleasures
coarse.
1t often happens that the young man in
office is of very different type from the
one referred to. He is steady, and is in
office only for an object. He Is studying
law or medicine, or something else, and
Office enables him to live while ne acquires
a profession. Then he will shake The dust
of Washington life from off his fe0t, Sc

ness of life His Office experience neither

"RATS."
AsPractica1 Joke at the Expense OF sena-
tor Blackburn.

One of the handsOmest ladies who
haunt Washington is tall and magnificent
lv formed widow, who is the agent Of q
nrOminent book concern. She has lustrous
brown hair and splendid eyes, and many
and many a member of Congress has
wilted under their expressive glances. She
s0licits subscriptions, and, it is understood,
is the most successful of all the vast army
Of book-agents who prey upon the COM
munity. If there is one thing above an
other that will interest gallant Senator
Blackburn, it is a handsome woman. The
widow by some means ascertained that the
c0urtly Kentuckian was somewhat suscept-
ible, and so went up to the Senate Cham
Der and sent in her card. Several
of the Senator's associates learned that
Genial joe was about to receive a
call. and they made up ptheir minds to play
Il practical joke at his expense. They en-
listed the services Of messenger and sub
stituted for the widows card one bearing
the name Mrs. Wratz." Black burn came
out into the antc-rOOm, and when he
caught sight of the beautiful widow his

swelled out like pOuter pigeon. Ad-
vanCiug in his most fascinating manner he

she replied sharply: Senator Blackburn.

| looked confused for moment. and then
! he drew out the card which the practiC1i
| jokers had prepared and said; I'm sure
there must DO some mistake the name
reads W-r-a-t-z." The widow looked at
the card, and then they both laughed A
few moments later the widow pat down
the Senator's name.for two copies OF her
book. Then they shook hands and the
widow went to look for a fresh victim.

Of all the lands in the world there is not
one in which there is such rage for mon
umcnt raising as in Italy. Of late, cs-
pccially, hardly u week has gone by with
out witnessing the unyeil ng of new one.
1t is incredible the number Of monuments.
Of busts, Of pillars, and inscriptions that
dot the fair peninsula. Pniloiogists who
claim. reasonably enough, that we 1ind
first word where a thing is most common,
may lind another proof of their theory in
the fact that the word mOnumcnto mania
has been coined i'll Italy. Certainly it
would not be coined elsewhere. If one is
inclined to LOOK at the better side of things
in general, one might say that this new
craze is not a bad thing after all; it is
rather good sign when people take so
great an interest in public affairs, and are
willing to contribute with their money to
honor and proIong the memory Of those
who either by deeds or words have helped
their country to become richer or greater
or better. but-alas! there is but which
spoils our optimistic Yicws-Very few Of
these busts and monuments are raised by
popular contributions. The greatest part
of them are built and paid for by munich
pal bodies or Ey the government, in either
case without consulting the taxpayers
who, at the end, have 10 pay for them.-
